At  the  Seventh  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of  Swarth- 
inore  College,  held  at  Race  Street  Meeting  House,  Philadelphia, 
Twelfth  month  6th,  1870 

The  Minutes  of  the  last  Annual  Meeting  were  read  and  approved. 

The  following  Reports  of  the  Board  of  Managers  and  of  the 
Treasurer  were  read  and  accepted : 

MANAGERS’  REPORT. 

The  second  school  year  opened  on  the  8th  of  the  Ninth  month, 
1870,  with  a greatly  increased  number  of  students.  On  the  1st 
of  the  Twelfth  month  this  number  was  two  hundred  and  forty-five, 
of  whom  one  hundred  and  thirty-two  are  boys  and  one  hundred 
and  thirteen  are  girls.  Of  the  whole  number  ten  are  day  scholars. 


The  classification  is  as  follows : 

Collegiate  Departm  ent — 

Sophomores,  . . . . .22 

Freshmen,  . . . . .24 

Preparatory  Department — 

Class  A,  . . . . . .74 

Class  B,  .....  63 

Class  C,  . . . . .62 


Of  the  whole  number  one  hundred  and  sixty -seven  are  children 
of  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

We  have  still  to  regret  the  want  of  a gymnasium  for  the  boys. 
Tli is  has  been  postponed  for  want  of  the  requisite  funds,  notwith- 
standing some  special  subscriptions  for  the  purpose.  In  asking 
the  Stockholders  to  provide  the  rneans  for  this  building,  we  feel 


that  a gymnasium  is  scarcely  less  a pressing  necessity  in  a large 
school  than  any  of  the  ordinary  provisions  for  intellectual  training. 

The  course  of  instruction  has  been  modified  this  year  by  post- 
poning the  commencement  of  the  study  of  German  till  the  Fresh- 
man year.  Regular  lectures  and  recitations  in  Physics  have  been 
introduced  into  the  course  of  the  highest  class  of  the  Preparatory 
School,  besides  being  continued  in  the  College  Classes  as  heretofore. 

A class  in  Practical  Chemistry  has  made  some  progress,  and 
Chemistry  is  also  taught  by  lectures  to  both  College  Classes,  the 
lectures  on  common  things  and  on  the  Elements  of  Natural  Science 
being  continued  in  the  Preparatory  Department. 

Mechanical  Drawing  is  taught  to  fifty-two  students,  and  Free- 
hand Drawing  to  eighty-one. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  for  a course  on  Zoology,  Physi- 
ology and  Anatomy  by  Dr.  Joseph  Leidv  of  Philadelphia,  recently 
appointed  Non-resident  Professor  of  Natural  History. 

We  also  expect  to  have  a series  of  ten  lectures  on  Geology, 
beginning  at  the  opening  of  next  term.  With  a view  to  meet  the 
large  demand  for  a full  Scientific  Course,  independently  of  the 
study  of  the  Ancient  Classics,  we  have  so  arranged  the  studies 
that  the  degree  of  A.  B.  may  be  obtained  without  the  study  of 
the  Ancient  Languages. 

The  Reading  Room,  containing  a selection  of  daily  and  weekly 
papers  and  other  periodicals,  has  been  found  a popular  resort  for 
the  students  when  out  of  school.  The  Library  has  grown  by  con- 
tributions and  purchases  made  with  funds  appropriated  by  the 
Board,  and  now  contains  about  twelve  hundred  volumes.  Friends 
having  private  libraries  which  are  becoming  less  important  to 
them  as  they  advance  in  life,  might,  bv  placing  them  at  Swarth- 
more,  render  them  useful  to  generations  which  are  to  follow  them. 
We  need  bound  periodicals  which  record  the  history  of  our  own 
and  recent  times,  and  of  these  a complete  copy  of  Friends’  Intelli- 
gencer from  its  origin  would  be  a valuable  contribution.* 


* Peborah  F.  Wharton,  has  since  supplied  this  deficiency. 


The  influence  of  pictures  is  not  to  be  overlooked  in  the  training 
of  young  minds,  and  the  late  contributions  of  engravings,  by  Dr. 
George  Truman  and  Henry  M.  Laing,  representing  groups  of  Ame- 
rican inventors  and  of  literary  men  and  women,  have  attracted 
much  attention. 

A number  of  students  have  availed  themselves  of  the  Laboratory 
for  chemical  instruction  for  a short  course  in  Synthesis,  and  are 
now  entering  on  Qualitative  Analysis. 

A collection  of  Minerals,  selected  by  Professor  Leidy,  and  paid 
for  from  funds  contributed  by  Joseph  Jeanes,  only  awaits  a place 
to  assort  and  display  it  to  be  added  to  our  Museum  of  Natural 
Objects.  This  Department  of  the  College  facilities  is  worthy  of 
the  liberality  of  its  friends.  It  is  designed  to  be  arranged  in  two 
collections,  one  illustrative  of  the  principles  of  structure  and  classi- 
fication, and  the  other,  showing,  as  far  as  practicable,  all  the  mine- 
rals, plants  and  animals  of  the  neighboring  sections  of  country. — 
Thus  will  the  students  be  prevented  from  growing  up  in  ignorance 
of  the  objects  surrounding  them  throughout  life,  and  many  will  be 
inspired  with  an  increased  interest  in,  and  love  for,  the  visible 
works  of  the  Creator. 

The  great  improvement  of  the  grounds  of  the  College — the  grad- 
ing, sodding  and  laying  out  of  the  concrete  walks  and  carriage 
roads,  furnishes  a strong  contrast  to  the  condition  of  the  grounds 
last  year. 

Nearly  one  hundred  deciduous  trees,  mostly  contributed  by 
Hoopes,  Bro.  & Thomas,  have  been  recently  planted,  and  we  have 
offers  of  valuable  trees  to  be  transplanted  in  the  spring,  when  our 
landscape  gardener  proposes  to  set  out  also  a variety  of  shrubbery 
and  evergreens. 

The  station  on  the  railroad  has  been  changed  in  name  to  Swartli- 
more,  and  a Post  Office  and  Adams  Express  Office  of*  the  same 
name  have  been  established  there.  Letters  and  packages  sent  to 
the  College  will,  therefore,  bear  that  direction.

Helen  G.  Longstreth  resigned  her  position  as  Matron  at  the

valuable  services  in  connection  with  the  College.

CLEMENT  M.  BIDDLE, 

Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Managers, 


11 


The  Reports  were  referred  to  the  incoming  Board  of  Managers 
for  publication,  and,  on  motion,  it  was 

Resolved , That  the  “ Supplement  to  ‘ An  Act  to  incorporate 
Swarthmore  College,’  authorizing  an  increase  of  capital  stock,”  ap- 
proved the  1-1  th  day  of  April,  A.  D.  1870,  be  accepted  by  this  cor- 
poration as  part  of  its  Charter. 

Resolved , That  of  the  thirty-two  Managers  of  the  corporation 
there  shall  be  elected  hereafter  sixteen  women,  and  that  this  be  a 
standing  By-Law  of  the  corporation. 

Edward  Hoopes,  Wm.  H.  Macy,  Edwin  Craft,  B.  Rush 
Roberts,  Ly^dia  Gillingham,  Saml.  Willets,  Catharine  H. 
Truman,  Dillwyn  Parrish,  Caroline  Underhill,  Rebecca 
Turner,  Mary  L.  Roberts,  Hugh  McIlvain  and  Edward 
Taylor  were  appointed,  to  nominate  Clerks  for  this  meeting,  also 
a Treasurer,  and  suitable  persons  to  fill  the  vacancies  in  the  Board 
of  Managers. 

The  question  was  asked  whether  the  clause  of  the  proposed 
amendments  to  the  Charter  enabling  the  corporation  to  borrow 
money  was  designed  for  any  special  purpose,  to  which  it  was 
answered  that  no  necessity  has  arisen  for  its  application,  but  that 
it  was  considered  a measure  of  prudence  to  have  this  usual  clause 
inserted  in  the  amended  Charter. 

The  attention  of  the  meeting  was  called  to  the  importance  of 
creating  an  Endowment  Fund  and  Scholarships,  to  enable  the 
College  to  extend  its  advantages  to  those  whose  restricted  means 
at  present  debar  them  from  entering  as  students,  or  from  continuing 
long  enough  to  pursue  the  full  course  of  study.  It  was  urged  that 
if  Trustees  were  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Managers,  to  have 
custody  of  all  contributions  toward  such  objects  and  to  make  a 
proper  application  of  them,  individuals  about  making  their  wills 
and  others  blessed  with  abundance,  would  be  led  to  add  to  the  fund 
already  commenced  bv  donations  and  legacies  heretofore  acknow- 
ledged. Five  thousand  dollars  would  secure  the  education  of  one 
student  in  perpetuity,  and  might  be  either  merged  in  the  general 
endowment  or  reserved  as  a separate  scholarship. 


12 


The  advantage  of  the  study  of  the  modern  languages,  in  prefer- 
ence to  the  devotion  of  years  to  the  ancient  classics,  formed  the  sub- 
ject of  some  pertinent  remarks,  and  the  President  of  the  Faculty 
dwelt,  upon  the  prominence  which  it  is  intended  to  give  to  the  Phy- 
sical and  Natural  Sciences  in  the  course  of  study  at  Swarthmore. 
Already  full  courses  of  lectures  are  given  in  Physics  and  Chemistry, 
and  arrangements  are  made  for  a course  on  Zoology  by  Dr.  Leidy, 
the  newly-appointed  Non-resident  Professor  of  Natural  History. 
Botany,  Mineralogy,  Geology,  and  Human  and  Comparative  Ana- 
tomy will  all  be  taught  when  facilities  for  their  study  can  be 
obtained ; it  has  been  determined  to  make  the  Scientific  Depart- 
ment a prominent  feature. 

The  following  were  appointed  inspectors  of  election : 

Edward  Merritt,  Thomas  H.  Speakman,  Joseph  Matthews.

The  necessity  of  a gymnasium  for  the  boys,  as  mentioned  in  the

capital  stock  of  the 

poration  to  five  hundred  thousand  dollars,  which  was  approved,  and 
the  Board  of  Managers  is  authorized  to  issue  certificates  of  stock  to 
that  amount. 


The  changes  in  the  By-Laws  as  reported  by  the  Board  of  Mana- 
gers were  read  and  approved. 

Then  adjourned.

SECTION  I. 


ORGANIZATION. 

In  the  organization  of  this  College,  especial  care  is  taken  to 
offer  every  facility  to  those  who  wish  to  become  proficient  in 
Special  Departments.  Hence,  Students,  not  candidates  for  de- 
grees, may  pursue  their  studies  for  a single  term,  or  for  a longer 
period,  in  any  classes  which  they  may  be  qualified  to  enter;  and 
they  shall  be  entitled  to  certificates  of  proficiency  in  any  depart- 
ment in  which  they  may  have  passed  a satisfactory  examination. 

Candidates  for  degrees  will  be  allowed  a wide  range  of  choice  in 
the  selection  of  their  studies,  and  may  obtain  the  first  degree  by  a 
longer  or  shorter  course,  as  explained  in  the  next  section. 

Students  of  the  Preparatory  Department  may  be  excused  from 
the  regular  studies  of  their  class,  and  substitute  others  in  their  stead, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Faculty.  Great  care  will  be  taken  in 
adjusting  the  optional  studies,  and  in  deciding  how  many  courses 
may  be  carried  on  at  one  time,  both  in  the  Collegiate  and  Prepara- 
tory Departments,  to  prevent  idleness  on  the  one  hand,  or  superficial 
haste  on  the  other. 


ADMISSION. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  Class  C will  be  examined  in  the  ele- 
ments of  English  Grammar,  Reading,  Spelling,  Modern  Geography, 
and  in  Arithmetic,  through  Decimal  Fractions. 

Candidates  for  classes  A or  B will  be  examined  also  in  the  studies 
of  the  classes  below  that  which  they  propose  to  enter. 

Candidates  for  admission  to  the  Freshman  Class  will  be  examined 
in  the  ordinary  English  branches ; also  in  Algebra,  as  far  as  Quad- 


33 


ratic  Equations ; in  the  first  two  books  of  Davies’  Legendre’s  Geo- 
metry, or  an  equivalent;  in  Harkness’  Latin  Grammar  and  Reader, 
and  the  first  two  books  of  Csesar ; and  in  the  elements  of  French 
Grammar.  For  the  examination  in  Latin  or  in  French,  an  exami- 
nation in  the  Elements  of  Chemistry,  and  Natural  Philosophy,  will 
be  accepted  as  an  equivalent. 

Candidates  for  any  higher  class  will  be  further  examined  in  the 
studies  of  the  course  which  precede  those  of  that  class;  for  which, 
however,  real  equivalents  will  be  accepted. 

Students,  not  candidates  for  a degree,  are  examined  for  entrance 
only  in  so  far  as  to  ascertain  their  ability  to  pursue  the  studies  of 
the  class  or  classes  which  they  propose  to  enter. 

Application  for  admission  for  the  next  school  year  should  be  made 
early  to  William  Dorsey,  No.  923  Market  Street ; Edward  Hoopes, 
No.  1330  Buttonwood  Street,  Philadelphia,  or  to  Edward  H.  Magill, 
Principal,  at  the  College;  and  candidates  must  present  themselves 
for  examination  at  12  o’clock,  on  Third-day,  the  5th  of  the  Ninth 
month,  1871. 

No  student  shall  be  admitted  without  satisfactory  testimonials  of 
good  moral  character;  and  students  coming  from  another  college 
or  school,  should  present  a certificate  of  honorable  dismission  from, 
and  of  good  standing  in,  the  institution  left. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  the  Preparatory  Department  must  be 
at  least  twelve  years  old. 


SECTION  II. 


DEGREES. 

In  order  to  become  a candidate  for  the  first  degree,  or  the  degree 
of  A.  B.,  the  student  must  have  pursued  twelve  annual  courses, 
which  comprise  the  studies  of  four  years,  with  three  studies  in  each 
year,  and  have  passed  satisfactory  examinations  therein,  no  exami- 
nation in  any  course  being  deemed  satisfactory,  unless  at  least  25 
per  cent,  of  correct  answers  be  given.  Of  these  twelve  courses,  two, 
at  least,  must  have  been  in  Mathematics ; one  in  English  Language 
and  Literature ; one  in  History ; one  in  Physics  and  Chemistry,  and 
two  in  an  ancient  or  a modern  language.  For  the  remaining  stu- 
dies, a selection  may  be  made  from  the  regular  courses  of  such  as 
are  preferred. 

The  second  degree,  or  the  degree  of  A.  M.,  will  be  given,  in  regu- 
lar course,  three  years  after  graduation,  to  those  students  who, 
after  leaving  College,  shall  have  devoted  themselves  to  scientific  or 
literary  pursuits. 

As  already  intimated  in  the  previous  section,  the  degree  of  A.  B. 
may  be  obtained  by  a longer  or  shorter  period  of  study,  depending 
upon  the  number  of  branches  pursued  at  one  time.  Under  all  ordi- 
nary circumstances,  three  studies  at  once  will  be  found  quite  suffi- 
cient, thus  occupying  with  the  course  the  usual  period  of  four  years. 
In  cases  of  great  ability  or  remarkable  application,  this  time  may 
be  shortened ; but  the  cases  are  very  rare  where  such  a shortening 
of  the  course  is  not  of  at  least  questionable  utility.  The  Faculty 
and  Instruction  Committee,  at  all  times,  reserve  the  right  to  increase 
or  diminish  the  number  of  studies  pursued,  if  such  diminution  or 
addition  of  labor  will,  in  their  opinion,  be  for  the  advantage  of  the 
student.

SECTION  IV. 


GENERAL  REMARKS. 

A distinguishing  feature  of  this  College  is  the  great  care  which 
has  been  taken  to  secure  the  personal  comfort  and  social  interests 
of  all. 

Attention  is  paid  to  preserving  the  health  and  strength  of  the 
students.  Regular  daily  exercise  in  the  open  air  is  insisted  upon  ; 
for  which  the  extensive  grounds  connected  with  the  College  afford 
great  facilities.  A large  room  is  appropriated  to  the  girls  as  a play- 
room and  for  light  gymnastics ; and  a spacious  and  well-appointed 
gymnasium  for  the  boys  will  be  completed  before  the  close  of  the 
present  school  year.  The  building  is  thoroughly  ventilated  and  well 
warmed.  Baths  supplied  with  hot  and  cold  water  are  daily  accessi- 
ble to  the  students. 

Students  of  both  sexes,  under  the  supervision  of  the  officers  of 
instruction  and  government,  are  associated  as  in  a well-regulated 
family,  and  the  experience  of  the  last  two  years  has  proved  their 
influence  upon  each  other  to  be  highly  beneficial. 

The  labors  of  each  day  are  terminated  by  a general  meeting  for 
reading  selected  portions  of  Scripture  and  other  suitable  books, 
followed  by  a period  of  silence  before  retiring  for  the  night. 

On  First-day  morning,  a religious  meeting  is  held,  attended  by 
the  students,  teachers  and  members  of  the  household. 


Students  should  be  supplied  with  six  towels,  six  table-napkins, 
two  clothes-bags,  a wrapper,  slippers  and  umbrella,  together  with  the 
requisite  toilet  articles.  Every  article  must  be  marked  with  the 
full  name  of  the  owner. 

Students,  before  coming  to  the  College,  should  visit  a dentist,  in 
order  to  avoid  one  of  the  most  common  causes  of  interruption  in 
study. 

Students  are  not  allowed  to  receive  visitors  on  the  first  day  of 
the  week,  and  must  not  be  disturbed  in  their  studies  or  recitations 
at  any  time. 

Commemoration  Day  is  the  last  Fourth-day  of  the  Sixth  month. 
The  school  year  commences  ten  weeks  thereafter,  and  continues 
forty-two  weeks.  Besides  the  vacation  of  ten  weeks  in  summer, 
there  will  be  two  vacations  of  one  week  each  during  the  school 
year,  and  two  others  of  two  days  each.  Permission  to  enjoy  the 
vacations  of  two  days  each  will  only  be  granted  upon  the  written 
request  of  parents  or  guardians.  Students  are  not  expected  to 
return  home  at  other  times,  except  in  cases  of  sickness  or 
domestic  affliction. 

The  name  of  the  station  at  the  College,  upon  the  Philadelphia 
and  West  Chester  Railroad,  has  been  changed  to  Swarthmore,  and 
a Post  Office  and  Adams  Express  Office  of  the  same  name  have 
been  established  there. 

The  price  of  board  and  tuition,  including  all  the  branches  taught 
in  the  College  and  Preparatory  School,  is  $350  a year,  one-half 
payable  in  advance,  and  the  remainder  on  the  first  day  of  the 
Second  month.  This  sum  includes  the  use  of  books,  and  those 
who  wish  to  retain  them  will  be  furnished  with  them  at  wholesale 
prices. 

Day  scholars  will  pay  $200  per  year,  one-half  payable  in  ad- 
vance, and  the  remainder  on  the  first  day  of  the  Second  month. 
This  includes  dinner  with  the  resident  students  and  the  use  of 
books. 


43 


There  will  be  no  extra  charges , but  students  will  buy  their  own 
stationery ; those  pursuing  the  study  of  Practical  Chemistry  will 
pay  for  the  chemicals  which  they  use  in  the  Laboratory ; and  a 
charge  will  be  made  for  the  abuse  of  books  or  other  College  prop- 
erty. Payments  are  to  be  made,  by  check  or  draft,  to  the  order  of 
William  Canby  Biddle,  Treasurer,  payable  at  No.  509  Commerce 
Street,  Philadelphia.
